Google gets first driver-less car licence

[SuF]

Nevada has granted Google what is believed to be the first U.S. license to test driverless cars, Fox 5 reports.
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles announced Monday it has approved Google's application to test the autonomous vehicles on public streets. However, the DMV will require at least two people in the vehicles during testing, including one in the driver's seat.
Before it was approved, the car was tested on freeways and in neighborhoods around Carson City and Las Vegas, Fox 5 reports. The tests showed the car was just as safe, if not safer, than a human driver...

Amazing what we can do now days.

None the less, I would trust me over that car driving.

 

[Noam]

The thing I like about Google's Driverless car is that unlike some other technologies I have heard of, Google always allows the driver to take control in case of emergency or something simply by grabbing the driver's wheel.

This is crazy, soon our planes and trains will have no drivers. I wouldn't trust a plane without a driver, also it will get rid of so many jobs.

Actually flights are basically autopilot after takeoff and landing. Those are the two hard parts tbh

Modern planes can takeoff, fly, and land without any human interference if need be. They just don't because no one would feel safe letting a computer do all the flying and all it would take is one bug and everyone would die. :/
